I wrote a first draft and it's only about 500 words :/ I was writing it on wider ruled paper than I'm used to so I thought it would be longer xD I guess, is flash fiction okay?

So I made my short story, it took longer than I expected and went through different ideas and well all of them were longer than I expected but this one kinda came out nice? there was no time stamp and I lost track of time so I hope it's ok that it's an hour late.
I'm not use to short stories so all in all it could have come out better, but could have come out much worse.
Just because I think it does bare explaining as the song I had was have yourself a marry little Christmas and among the normal lyrics of happy Christmas there are lyrics such as "Next year all our troubles will be out of sight" and also "Someday soon we all will be together" which somehow inspired my to write a world where there is trouble among three common fantasy races and that Christmas is where they try to work it out and come together to work as one or "our troubles as a people are out of sight and someday soon we three species will be together" . and I did reinterpret a few things, so I do hope that was also ok. You did say "inspiration in a place you wouldn't necessarily expect" I think if nothing else I did fulfill on that.
Anyway it was fun thank you for hosting the tournament
Thanks guys! If you haven't yet, you have until the end of the day today to get your entries in, and I'll start looking at these all tomorrow and let you know soon.

Here's my entry. My song was "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree," and the only thing I took from it for inspiration was the line about Mistletoe. (As you can probably imagine). Hopefully this'll provide a little Holiday entertainment for you.

What's the point of success if it makes me miserable?
Thank you all for your submissions! Over the past week, @TheBlueCat and I have been hard at work at judging your stories. Music is one of my favorite parts of the holiday season, and I enjoyed seeing how you all interpreted them.
Drumroll please....
